Ainsley Harriott joins lineup for 2024 Bolton Food and Drink Festival
Things are heating up for the UK’s biggest food and drink event with Ainsley Harriott announced as Bolton Food and Drink Festival’s second celebrity chef for 2024.
Well regarded as a one of the best chefs in the world, the national treasure will be making his fourth appearance at the event on Saturday 24 August, with previously announced James Martin taking to the stage on Monday 26 August.
Over the years, the Ainsley has created a variety of memorable moments for Bolton’s festival goers, including his hit sensation, the ‘Coconut and Mango’ song.
Ainsley will be making his return to the festival’s kitchen on for two scintillating cooking demonstrations at 11am and 1pm on the 24 August and will be then hosting a special Rum Fiesta event at 3.30pm.
Guests at this year’s demos will get to feast on a delicious Caribbean inspired dish whilst they watch Ainsley at work.
Brunch will feature tasty buttermilk pancakes with rum infused maple syrup alongside a banana, hazelnut and honey smoothie.
Lunch guests will be treated to a twist on a local delicacy with a Carrs Pasties Jamaican jerk chicken pasty barm.
At the afternoon Rum Fiesta, where fans have the chance to explore the world of rum tasting, guests will enjoy a delightful rum cake with crème fraiche.
This year’s festival is due to come to the plate from Friday 23 August, providing a whole host of fun, food and family activities for four fantastic days.
The bank holiday weekend will be seasoned with free regional chef demos, children’s activities, live music and bars to artisan stalls, street entertainment and special events, including hilarious comedy dining experiences Faulty Towers and Sheer Luck Holmes.
